Settling a Bully.

During the occupation of Paris by the
allies after Waterloo, good deal of feel
ing arose between English and French
officers. Many of the latte although in
the service of Louis XNIII were former
ly under Napoleon, and still retained
their former masters hatred for perf,is
AUion. There was one French officer who
boasted of having killed dozen English
officers, and promised to 90 on in his
work One evening lie staggered as usti-
al into his cafe aud, to his astonishment.

glais occupying his chair--a chair that
no one hitherto had dared q sit upon but
himself. Mast ring lis passion, he un-
did his sword-beit, and having placed his
sword on one side, began to insult the
perfectly inoffensive English officer who
sat so unconscious-lo looking in his the

Englishman's toes, he deprived the fsng

ed the newspaperoutofth Englishman's
hand and then the Briton slowly rose
up, displaying to the astonished eyes of
the Gaul a guardsman some six feet six
inches high. The giant, bending across
the table, seized hold ofthe Frenchman's
nose with one hand and his chin with
the other, and wrenehing his mouth
open, spat down his throat. With
howl the Frenchman, holding his under

The committee Of the provisional Gov
ernment in their report on a hagand seal
for adoption, confessed they were not so
much attached TO the old flag. and de
clared il would be Inappropriate to 're-
tain the flag of the government from
which we have Withdrawn" The de
sign recommended by theeommittee and
adopted by the Provisional Government
was known as the Stars and Bars" The
union blue in the corner had circle of
seven white stars, to represent the seven
original seeding States. The rest of the
flag showed three bars, red, white and
blue. In 1862 the Confederate Govern
ment. as one evidence of absolute sever
ance from the United States, decided on
a new flag. This was the Southern Cross,
finally adopted by the Confederate Con-
gress in 1868, and favored by General
Beauregard Itwas frst, however, Gen

having selected the blue spangled saltier

did not please the Richmond Examiner, in
which il was described az "a red field

Rebel and Union colors at the first battle

camping party on the coast of Georgia,
near savannah. had been amusing them
selves by swimming in the bay, and 4
ventursome lad named Charley Butler
had swan much farther and staid longer
than the rest. The writer, who was the
owner of the dog, dressed himself, and
was busy preparing supper when he
heard an alarm.
4 sudden outcry told pe something
was going wrong IN the shore Grab
bing a rifle and fastening back, with
Carlo at my heels, ! beheld Butler some
distance away, swimming with all his
might and only few yards behind him
the vertical fin of a huge shark. There
seemed no possibility that the boys life
could be saved we were without boats,
and the fish and man were 50 nearly in
line from us that | did not dare TO fire.
In a second Black Carlo. conprehending
the situation, dashed through the surf
and started to swim toward Charley with
a speed that have never seen equalled
by any land animal. The boy having
leisurelv covered most of the distance
between the reef and the shore when the
man eater started after him, was compar-
atively fresh, and, when he saw the no.
Bile dog hastencng to his help, made a
final desperate effort to escape. In an
other instant Carlo was close to him.
Just then, however, the shark, having
come near enough, turned so that we
could see his white belly glistening in the
twilight, aud all was ready for the spring
that would have surely ended Charley S
life when Carlo, leaping clear over But
/ ler.s form, appeared to go straight into
+ the monsters mouth /; and the latter,
having got his supper, disappeared in the
deep water. while the lad in few sec
onds was safe on the shore. That night
our Joy over our comrades rescue was
mingled with sorrow for the life so gai-
lantly sacrificed in his behalf and TO this
day the memory of this thrilling scene
fills me with sadness for the loss of Black
Carlo, my dog hero.

A Large City.

If anv one were to walk one way
through all the streets of London, he
would be obliged 10 walk distance of
two Thousand six hundred miles, or as
far AS it is across the American continent
from New York TO San Francisco. This
would give an idea of what would have
to be done in order TO see even the great
er part of London.
In our approach to this city, as well as
in our rambles through its streets, we
shall not be struck 50 much by its splen-
did and imposing appearance as by its
immensity. Go where we may, there
seems to be no end to the town. 1t is
fourteen miles one way and eight miles
the other, and contains O population Of
nearly four million people, which isgreat-
er. indeed, than that of Switzerland, or
the kingdoms of Denmark and Greece
combined We are told on good author
ity that there are more Scotchmen in
London than in Edinburg, more Irish
men than in Dublin, more Jews than in
Palestine, with foreigners from all parts
of the world, including great number OF
Americans. Yet there are so many Eng
lishmen in London that one is not likely
to notice the presence of these people of
other nations.
This vast body of citizens, some so rich
that they never can count their money,
and some so poor that they never have
any to count, eat every year four hun
dred thousand oxen, and and half mil
lion sheep, eight million chickens and
game birds, not to speak of calves, hogs,
and different kinds of fish. They con-
sumo five hundred million oysters which,
although it seems lik a large number,
would only give, if equally divided among
all the people, one oyster every third day
to each person. There are three hundred
thousand servants in London, enough
people to make large city but as this
gives only one servant to each dozen cit
izens, it is quite evident that a great
many of the people must wait on them
selves. Things are very unequally di-
vided in London and have no doubt
that instead of there being one servant To
twelve persons, some of the rich lords
and ladies have twelve servants apiece

Enjoy Life.

What truly beautiful world We live
in Nature gives us grandeur of noun
tains, glens and oceans, and thousands of
means of enjoyment. We can desire no
better when in perfect health; but how
often do the majority of people feel like
giving it up disheartened, discouraged
and worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every suf-
ferer can easily obtain satisfae ory proof
that GREEN'S Aag',s Fio~T, will make them
iree from disease as when born. Dyspep-
sia and Liver Complaint are the direct
causes of seventy-five per cent. of such
maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous
Pros;ration, Dizziness of the Head, Pal
pitation of the Heart. and other distress
ing symptoms. Three doses of Aagaa
Homer will prove its wonderful effect

MEMORY.

Nv feet approach life's western slope;
Above me bends the MONDAY skies.
Beyond me spreads the realm Of hope,
Behind. the land Of memory lies;
know not what the years may bring
ofdangcr wild or joys serene;
But. turning 10 the east sing,
Lord. keep my memory green.
Oh. land Of winter and of bloom
OF Ofsinging bird and moaning pine,
Thy golden lights, thy tender gloom,
Thy wales and mountains all are mine
Thy holy loves Of other years
With beck ming hand toward me lean,
Aud whisper through their falling tears,
Lord. keep my memory green
Dear memory whose unclouded gaze
Can pierce the darkest wiIds of space,
l see her morning watchfire blaze,
feel her breezes fan my face;
/ would not give the light she filings
Across my future landscape scene
For all the pomp and power of kings-
Lord keep my memory green.
Let memory near my soul abide,
With eve and voice TO warn and win,
TIL Hope and Memory, side by side,
Shall walk above the tides of sin
Till from life's western lakes and ri.ls
The angel lifts the sunset sheen,
And hangs IL o'er the eastern hills

fifteen years sentence. The woman was
his daughter. This was all he knew.
The sudden revulsion in Harlow's feel
ings stunned him; he reeled and would
have falleu had not the usher caught him
in time; He slipped gold coin into the
hand of the usher and left the prison.
He sought tree near by, whose large
dropping branches afforded good en-
sconcement, and throwing himself on
the green grass, began to ruminate over
the exciting circumstances which had
just taken place.
That was indeed one Of the happiest
moments of his life. His heart never
beat so lightly before.
The words, "noble, grand girl escap-
ed his lips in the delirium of his delight
| All now he knew the reason of her mag
unanimous sacrifice; of her refusal to ac-
cept the hand of the man she loved. The
filial love was paramount to all other af-
fections.
Why had she not told him all I? So
great was his love he could have forgiven
everything.
He lay on the cool grass for some time,
turning over future plans, but was at
last aroused from his blissful thoughts by
the approaching train which was TO bear
him and his love back to San Francisco.
He watched the devoted couple until
they boarded the train, and then took a
seat himself in the rear coach. How diff
ferent was the journey back. Every OBJ
ject along the road sparkled like daz-
cling gem every plot of grass disclosed
some newborn charm; the very air
seemed to breathe happiness. John
Harlow's new life began when he board
ed the train that afternoon. For reasons
better known to himself he did not see
Cora Lane for two weeks after the prison
episode.
He allowed the exc tement Of the past
few weeks to completely die out before he
ventured TO see her. Then he found her
and reiterated his undying affection.
They were soon married and returned TO
the East, but the father remained in San
Francisco, where for many years he led a
good useful life, and fully expiated his
past misdeeds. John buried the secret
of his wife deep in his noble heart, as re-
CARDS that his lips were forever silent.
Often as he sits and gazes into her large
liquid eyes he wonders if she reads his
thoughts; but as she never speaks of the
reason why for three long years she
avoided the man she loved, he rests con-
tented that his secret is unknown to her.

When Mr.. and Mrs. Callboard return
ed from their wedding journey they
settled right down to housekeeping.
Happier doves never nestled in fiat,
and Mrs. Callboard determined TO make
home happy for Charley from the start.
No future Misunderstanding shonld arise
in their domestic arrangements if her
wisdom and tact could prevent. When
they sat down to their first meal Nellie
helped him to an opaque slab of some-
thing about an inch thick, that fell on the
table with dull, sickening thud. There
is some home made bread like your
mother used to make, Charley dear" she
said sweetly. 81 learned how to make
that solid circle..of roler composition in
the middle of the loaf when we were
stopping at her house last week (; if you
ever want change | can make bread
whittier than snow and lighter than sea
foam, but this is the kind your mother
makes, and l thought you might like it

homesick."

thoughtfully endeayoring to indent with
his fork dark brown pyramid of elastic
concrete, " is cake such as your aunt Ell
len used to make. | got the prescription
from her. l don't eat it myself, but it is
said to be harmless if not taken to excess.
These irregular fragments of leather belt
ing are doughnuts like those your grand
mother makes; she taught me how to
make them, and had coroner's permit
to make these. Those ghastly remains on
the platform are all that is left of the
holocaust; that is the chicken roasted af-
ter the favorite prescription of sister Jane.
And this, Charley DEAR" she continued,
pouring out acoal black liquid, not quite as
thick as the Missouri river but far more
odorous, ''this is coffee like you used to
get at home.
Imake all these things somewhat diff
ferently for myself and and will use my
own receipts as rule, after this, but any
time you want thingsas you used to have
them at home, dear, can fill every pre-
scription the in pharnacop9ia, and don't
you forget it." And he didn't. That
